Research Notes
Above biography states he married Isabella in 1864. After a merge, the following statements were added that conflict somewhat with the biography:
- He married Margaret Rae in 1859, Scotland. <-- year is incorrect because children born to Isabella were born after this date.
- He emigrated to Canada in 1890 with his wife Margaret and children.
- They emigrated from Scotland to Canada in 1887.
